1 Invasive Species Test 30 Stations 90 seconds each -or- 15 stations (2/seat) 3 minutes each
2 Station 1 A. The insect transmits Huanglongbing killing the plant upon which it feeds. How was this species introduced into the United States? B. Why is this tiny insect difficult to detect?
3 Station 2 A. ALHB feeds on hardwood trees; is it more likely to feast on an Ash tree or a loblolly pine tree? B. Given the habits of the larvae, how are these organisms likely to travel?
4 Station 3 A. They are difficult to control and suppress in part because they live very near to humans. Other than providing a host for blood consumption, how does proximity to humans ensure survival. B. Males of this species feed on while females feed on &
5 Station 4 A. What telltale sign left by the adults do researchers look for to determine if there is an infestation B. The squiggly pattern left in the tree is created by the larvae as they feed. How does this kill the tree?
6 Station 5 A. This species was initially introduced when some captive escaped from private ownership. The owner imported them to interbreed with another species to start up which ancient and profitable industry in the United States? B. This organism eats more than 500 species of tree and shrub increasing its status as a pest. Organisms that eat a wide variety of foods with a wide range of tolerance for abiotic factors are called? C. Tie Breaker - briefly describe how this organism s larvae propagate themselves.
7 Station 6 A. How does this species damage trees? B. Though it is a problem along the whole east coast, they are less threatening in the northern range because they are intolerant of.
8 Station 7 A. Unlike their close relations, this insect has a lifespan. B. What is the primary control method used by the USDA?
9 Station 8 A. These organisms are known to attack en masse to maximize their impact on their victim. They coordinate their attack through what process? B. This organism is a herbivore/omnivore/carnivore.
10 Station 9 A. The cyst in the picture is the of the species and contains the. B. Because this species in an obligate parasite, the most effective control method is?
11 Station 10 A. The jumping adaptation is believed to be an adaption used to. B. Knowing the feeding habits of this organism, these fish were introduced to aquaculture in the U.S. in the 1970s to
12 Station 11 A. This species if a nuisances primarily because. B. This species is migratory during reproductive stages. Does it migrate to or from saltwater?
13 Station 12 A. Members of this Genus share the adaptation of distinct color-banding. The purpose of such coloration is. B. Original introduction is believed to be a result of, and the species was propagated and dispersed by current of the east coast of the U.S.
14 Station 13 A. What adaptation gives the young of this species the supposed ability to wriggle between habitable sources of water? B. Given the habitat preference of this species, this organism is most likely to be found in the mountain streams and rivers or stagnant farm ponds?
15 Station 14 A. The introduction of this species is likely a result of, creating farms to save their profits because the species was essentially driven to extinction through much of its native range. B. The large yellow front incisors identify this organism as a member of the order. (common name)
16 Station 15 A. The adult stage of the jellyfish is called. B. Describe how the jellyfish feed.
17 Station 16 A. This plant spreads through a growth on its stem that sprouts a new plant. This growth is called a. B. A leaf eating beetle was introduced in an effort to control the population. Introducing another species to control and invasive is called control.
18 Station 17 A. This species is often a vigorously competitive plant in compromised soils because of its ability to -. B. This plant is also known as a Japanese Silverberry. The reference to silver is a result of what?
19 Station 18 A. This plant has very few predators because. B. Historically, the white coating on the seeds was used for.
20 Station 19 A. To differentiate between this plant and its less noxious relatives, you would observe the leaves. How would this plant s leaves differ? B. What region of the US is affected by this invasive?
21 Station 20 A. This plant has documented medicinal value related to which system of the body? B. Does this plant affect the biodiversity of understory or the canopy more?
22 Station 21 A. Much like another common invasive, this plant was introduced because it was used as a for porcelain B. Why is this plant particularly problematic for tree health & reproduction?
23 Station 22 A. This plant is known for its ability to fix nitrogen in its root nodules. What is the common name of this plant family? B. Many believe that this plant was introduced originally to control erosion. Why was it really introduced?
24 Station 23 A. Because it is such a hearty plant, it was introduced to control erosion and as a for ornamental species of the plant. B. Is this plant more likely to be found colonizing pastureland or heavily forested land?
25 Station 24 A. Noting the size and shape of the seeds, What is the most common dispersal method? B. Is this plant more accurately described as early or late successional?
26 Station 25 A. This organism has an adaptation that categorizes it as a sucker. What does this refer to? B. This organism produces an allelopathic chemical called ailanthone which to reduce competition with other plants.
27 Station 26 A. This organism is native to the. B. Name one way this organism spreads.
28 Station 27 A. This species was introduced as a gift at the 1884 by a group of Japanese attendees (though it is native to the Amazon basin). B. This plant rapidly became a pest to Louisiana, and a 1910 bill was written that would introduce the, a giant African mammal, that would eat the plant and then later serve as food for the American public.
29 Station 28 A. How does it spread from diseased to healthy trees? B. The only cure is to prevent infection. How is that accomplished? (one method)
30 Station 29 A. What is a symptom of an infected bat? ( White face is not an appropriate response) B. It is estimated that bats provide $4-50 billion in services to farmland. What service do they provide? C. Tie-breaker - To whom would you report the sighting of an infected bat?
31 Station 30 A. Briefly describe the steps of transmission. B. What is a specific and effective method to prevent spread?
